INDIANAPOLIS – Contractors for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) plan to temporarily close the northbound I-65 ramp to eastbound I-465 Friday night. Contractors will be modifying pavement markings on the ramp to temporarily shift traffic to the left as part of the south side I-465 and I-65 Operation Indy Commute interchange improvement project.

During the overnight closure, motorists will be directed to take I-465 westbound to State Road 37/Harding Street (Exit 4) to return eastbound on I-465.

Crews plan to again close the ramp Sunday night to install temporary concrete barrier wall. Both ramp closures will begin after 11 p.m. and are expected to end before 6 a.m.

Walsh Construction Company, INDOT’s contractor for the $40 million project, is currently constructing auxiliary lanes along I-65 to connect between the I-465 and Southport Road interchange ramps. Auxiliary lanes are also being constructed on I-465 between I-65 and Emerson Avenue. A new two-lane flyover ramp from westbound I-465 to southbound I-65 is being constructed to replace the existing single-lane loop ramp. Sherman Drive remains closed until approximately Sept. 1 as the bridge over I-465 is reconstructed and lengthened to accommodate widening I-465 below.
